@talkingstove: I agree with you. The "I deserve" crowd here on Giz won't, though.

@mullingitover: Amazon wasn't looking to take the hit themselves. They wanted a deal where they could charge a set fee for all books and pass on fewer profits to publishers and writers. The writers are the ones who end up losing on that deal. What Apple is doing is the same thing - they're trying to bully movie

@dion.roberts: Yep, I'm pulling for the entertainment industry. Perhaps you would rather there not be an entertainment industry any longer?

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.2: I happen to think that people who create music, movies, books, games, art, etc. deserve to be paid for their work. Quality work deserves to be rewarded. Is that a lesson that your parents never taught you?

Yeah but there's no lag.

Good for them! Apple shouldn't set the standard for pricing of content, it should be the producers of said content that do. Price the creators out of making any money and you're going to see far less quality content. God forbid the creators of good content make any money!

@TheCrudMan: I'm not sure the intention is to woo iPad buyers but to woo new tablet customers who want other choices besides Apples self-glorified, overpriced piece of garbage.

@bbeesley: Agreed. One of Wired!'s earlier issues had Brad Pitt on the cover with a bluetooth Jawbone and it read "If Brad Pitt can only barely pull off this look you sure as hell can't." And they are right!

Matt, all you can do is complain about how the Galaxy tab isn't like the iPad it seems. I LIKE that the Galaxy tab isn't like the iPad. The iPad IS NOT the standard for tablets - it's just one popular model. And if a lack of 4G is the best you've got to complain about then I'd say it's a promising device.

Insert 'dickhead' joke here...

@SinisterBill: How can energy exist without heat or light? The energy states that we know of all exhibit heat or light.

@etodez: I'm thinking about paper-thin screens that can dynamically update - like a photo that moves or a movie playing in a photographed size piece of e-paper. This would change the world in a huge way. :)

I'm loving this... this is the first app that blows the one on iPhone away and fanboys with hurt feelings are lashing out. Cry more, whiners. This is only the beginning.

I love the way most of you are complaining that this is too much fluff. If there had been no popping eye candy you would have been complaining that there wasn't any fluff. Let's face it - most people commenting here are already biased and seem completely unwilling to admit that maybe, just maybe, Windows 7 Phone will

@jayhawk11: Didn't look to be laggy in the video.

@woozy: You would scratch the screen to read "hidden" messages, not all of your messages.

@usedtowork: That's what you have to complain about? If that's the best you got, then this phone will do pretty well.

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.2: And yet - all you have to go on is a one minute video showing off the animations. You presume that there is no way to switch off the animations -when the truth is - you really don't know what the phone will come with. Biased much?

This may suck, but it sure is fun watching a hot chick shake a weight that looks like a, well, a dumbbell.

Here's an important question I've always had about e-paper - where's the power source? Have they also developed paper-thin batteries?
